I’m loving the topic selected this week for Monday Listicles. Without further ado here is my list.

Top 10 List of What Husbands Should Do

Greet the wife first instead of the kids when he comes home from work. If not for her the kids would have never existed.
Go to bed at a reasonable time so that you will not be over tired and end up snoring and waking the wife up.
take me out on a date at least once a month if he is in town.
take care of ALL the kids for a night so that I’ll be able to have a girls night out.
be pro-active with all the kids and spend time with each one individually.
wash the dishes and clean up in the kitchen willingly instead of just leaving them in the sink.
spend more time with the wife and show that he appreciates her efforts in keeping the house and kids in check.
grocery shopping with the kids weekly.
understand that everything I do I have his welfare at heart and I do love him dearly.
make her super happy by bringing the whole family for a photo shoot this year.

The Tales of Old Green Eyes by Cathy Kennedy

Dominique Book Review, Parenting and Kids Childrens Story

Tale of the Old Green Eyes
The Tale of Ole Green Eyes by Cathy Kennedy is a story about two sisters and their adventures while staying with their grandparents over the weekend. The story is based on a story told to Cathy by her husband’s grandmother, grandma Sarah.

During their stay with their grandparents, Brittany and Nicole learned about the story about the panther- Old Green Eyes from their great grandma. They were intrigued by the story that she told and how great grandma and her sister barely managed to escape from the panther back then when they went out to fetch a pail of water.

The sisters too had their own encounter with what they thought to be Old Green Eyes when they were out walking in the mountains the next day. Luckily for them it was the cat with the green eyes Mischief instead of a real panther which their great grandmother encountered back then.

My thoughts

I found this tale a rather light- hearted read about a visit and stay over at the grandparents house. The story was a bit shorter then I have expected as I was looking forward to more development of the plot. I didn’t really like the graphic as I found it a bit too serious for a children’s storybook. The book will make a good bedtime story read for elementary age kids.
